Back to School

Meet my second daughter. She is smart, always up for a challenge, and never stops laughing. And she’s messy. Very messy.

Clothing for her is a mere casualty in her life’s adventures. It gets worn, trashed, and must be comfortable above all else. So when sewing for back to school, I look for comfortable clothing, washable, and darker colours or busy prints. This outfit checks all those things!

For the top I did the quick version of the Gracious Threads Rainbow Tee. It is such a fast sew, with only 2 pattern pieces. I used a medium weight black cotton lycra from Black Rabbit Fabrics and decorated the front with heat transfer vinyl cut with a design I bought from the Silhouette Design Store.
